Fine but windy is okay for our planned big clean up outside today. With time and so much rain the concrete and the exposed wood on garden walls and outside seating area and furniture were black and stained.
First move all the seats, pot plants,( inside the door out of harms way )

extra chairs etc out onto the lawn so R can manoeuvre the Hustler with sprayer on the back around the area he is to clean. Using a diluted Hypo solution he cleaned the wood and concrete areas.
Later when it is dry I replace every thing and it looks so much better. This is where ( on the grey couch ) I take a book or sewing if its a really nice fine day. ( not many lately ).

The retaining walls up the driveway and an area at the entrance are getting done too.

This is the 3rd flower a new Vireya (called Scented sun) has had following some sunburn when first planted then a touch of frost during the early Spring. I think its happy now. It was planted in September last year. Vireya Rhododenrons do really well in BOP. I see in my garden record book I have planted 16 since we moved here.

Everything looks good after a "spring"clean. Up here we are being warned about Cyclone Gabrielle. Fingers crossed it veers away from New Zealand. Coromandel, Auckland, the East Coast and us could do without more bad weather.
What a difference the pressure cleaning makes. It would be a very pleasant place to sit and sew.
All that work cleaning up really makes a difference. I see another cyclone heading your way, time to batten down the hatches again.
